Default Arrow Shark Boats

Hi All,
Anyone out there have an Arrow Shark boat? I just love the gas powered 52" Octane I think it looks great. The hardware and engine seems to LOOK real good too but I realize that looks can be deceiving.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Yes I have 2 of them.
the octane 45 and the windrider and find them both to be great fun boats, I'm running std Zenoah's in them and they run in the 55 to 60 kph
and will turn on a dime.
Another guy who comes to play with us on occasions has the bigger octane, he bought the complete package and just added his own tx/rx,
it only required a little tweek of the stinger and now she runs really sweet and also handles really well, also a great fun boat his is using the clutch also.

Hey JVDD,
Why did you go to the Zenoah? Are the engines that come with them bad?
Thanks,
Mike

I got my hulls before their motor was on the market and I had some spare Zenoah motors to use.
the Windrider has a 23 Zenoah in it and I bought the blank hull and used mostly arrow shark gear on it.
the octane 45 that I have was an unfinished project I got on Ebay and put a 26 Zenoah in it.
both these run well in both smooth and rough water, though I have flipped both in the rough water but i was really rough.
